The Cardano developer company stated that it has deployed a toolkit for launching custom sidechains, allowing developers to launch the blockchain at their discretion for use in the system.
According to representatives of IOG, a set of tools available in the test environment will allow sidechains to get all the features of Cardano, including support for a large community. The new set of tools gives the right to launch a sidechain with its own consensus algorithm, regardless of the rules of operation of the main Cardano network.
Thus, Cardano joins Polkadot, offering programmers a platform with the ability to experiment with industry applications in a real environment without compromising the main network. Sidechain can increase the speed of transactions on the network by processing more data without increasing the risk of network downtime.
Recall that a sidechain is a separate blockchain built on a native network and operating independently of it. The sidechain connects to the main blockchain through a bridge that allows assets to be transferred between networks.
Over the past week, the ADA token has shown an increase of more than 25% at a price of $0.3479 at the time of publication of this article.
